CGA post congress in 2015 (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Congress met in early April, the Coordination of Anarchist Groups confirmed s commitment
is for an Anarchist me revolutionary, enrolling in social struggles and acting against tou
your the forms of exploitation and domination - economic, governmental, racist,
patriarchal . One that promotes anarchism in his project as in the struggles, the
self-management, the direct democracy, the federalism e n opposition to any delegation of
power and all authoritarian system. ---- On this occasion, we could exchange our analyzes
on a position political, economic and social. The policy period today is characterized by
an acceleration of government and employer attacks on economic crisis background: major
social setbacks for the benefit of capital, breaking the labor law, strengthening of
security and draconian laws, are some of the main features.
Faced with layoffs, the continued rise in unemployment, the spread of precarious
employment, social struggles are conducted in a disorganized, piecemeal, without a mass
mobilization to the stakes reaches to emerge. Given this difficult observation, however,
we reject the resignation, and affirm that the construction of collective struggle is
needed more than ever! In this sense, the wills of meetings and to work co MMUN between
libertarian unionists emerged. D years initially, we officially recorded the creation of a
federal commission on trade unionism, struggles around the world of work and the
precariat. N os primary objectives are to 'a pprofondi r and diffuse er our analyzes and
claims , Mutualis er our experience, knowledge and tools , in the prospects for
self-training and strengthening social struggles.
The reactionary and fascist movements (nationalist or religious) have the context of
political, economic and social crisis. The ideological offensives and street mobilizations
multiply. Speeches and racist violence, sexist and LGBTphobes increase and become
commonplace. The extreme right, via the National Front, continued to grow and its
electoral anchor. The political landscape has strongly droitisé in his speeches and policy
measures. Faced with this situation, we consider it essential to update our analysis on
the forms taken the extreme right and fascism closer to political and social realities.
Thus, we can define strategies able to fight their rise observed in the heads, in the
streets and at the polls. Already, we're engaged, on a self-study work to decipher and
deconstruct their speeches.
P our divide those who have an interest in uniting face the devastating effects of
capitalism, classes to be able to rely on the e nationalism and Racis m e. For this reason
we say that the fight against all forms of Racism, in a class convergence goal, is a key
issue. A u ideological level, n e need to analyze and dismantle mechanisms and discourses
on which the racist system of domination. N e and will continue our reflection s
background on the issues of racism and the anti-racism, the religion of colonialism, in
order to have ppréhender best the s situations in their complexity, to identify racist
systems and their construction, so that the Utte s collective in which we record we are in
sharp contrast to all current reactionary or fascist. In this perspective, we want to work
for a better understanding of past and current political movements in France and elsewhere
in the world, to improve our understanding of the events and speeches.
As we have also analyzed the 1 2 , we cross a curing period of the patriarchal oppression
of women and multiplication d e s gender violence, racist, homophobic and transphobic.
Reaffirming our opposition to patriarchy, we moreover are committed to conduct trade in
order to update our analysis and intervention strategies. Internally, n e have decided to
put in pla of this single-sex areas af in coordinating and enhancing the art feminist
struggles in which the CGA mates are invested . Furthermore, we wish to give ourselves
formal procedures management in case where gender-based violence would be perpetrated
within the CGA. In fact, everyone in opposition to the system of male domination, we do
not want to escape the fact that the relationships of domination and oppression, socially
constructed and integrated, may be reprodu ire in our spaces , but prefer instead to
collectively develop tools to thwart .
F ace to the capitalist offensive, the rise of reactionary movements , in the absence of
progressive struggles of scale, we are aware-are difficulties which we are facing es. How
we can and will act as anarchists in society, what forms of organization are needed, what
fight strategies adopted, the debates are always renewed and the answers are many. Our
desire is always to really influence the social scene and in the struggle, without
accepting ideological compromise, be it with parties advocating statism or with currents
preaching a moral, authoritarian or nationalistic. On many issues, we will continue our
discussions and trainings, as well as our entry into the actions and struggles that bring
elements of rupture with the established operating systems and domination. Given the lack
of per spect ive social, we will continue to put forward our proposed anarchist society, a
society of equality, without classes or state, based on self-management and federalism .
